Envision: Be There Now

Musing….  

The vision that you glorify in your mind, 
the ideal that you enthrone in your heart, 
this you will build your life by, 
and this you will become.  - Anonymous

A vision board, sometimes called a dream board, is a collage of images and words that represent something  you’d like to realize in your life. It is a powerful tool used to cultivate and nurture a dream seed you have. The vision itself acts like a reference point by which you navigate; it points to true north for all the choices in your days that are opportunities to step closer to your dream realized.

Kate’s Turn:    

I’ve made a few vision boards in my past, and the cultivation of those visions seem to be powered up the most by simply gazing at the board and using my imagination, along with all my senses, to experience my “dream” – to use my daydreaming experience as a way to pour my energy into it. How fun is that?!   Currently, I have a vision of living in France for awhile, so I can paint my watercolors there, study with a mentor, bike in the countryside with my palette and capture the essence of my experience there on canvas, in my journal, in my pleasure and joy of living there. Get it? I’m THERE already in my mind and heart...the vision is my guiding star to embody it as I make choices every day, stepping  towards this dream.  I’m even beginning to practice a few French sayings:  Joie de vivre!

Get Fired Up:   

Begin to collect images, words, objects, materials that speak to you about the vision you have for yourself – as you pay attention, they will call out to you. Arrange them in a collage or gathering space, and allow them to invite you to nurture your vision in your daydreaming and BE THERE NOW!
